DR Jose I knew you had a folding bike. But I did not realize that you folded it up at every stop. Do any of these places have bike racks?

 I can check it at Coat Check if there's not enough room by my table (if I'm in a restaurant).

DR Jose I knew you had a folding bike. But I did not realize that you folded it up at every stop. Do any of these places have bike racks?

DR Jennifer - It literally takes no more than 20 seconds to fold the bike up, and it only weighs about 22 pounds. Plus, I got the "E-Z" wheels so that it's easier to roll around when folded up.

I would only leave the bike chained to a bike rack if there was no other option. Or I just take it to places where I know it would have to be out of my line of sight for an extended period of time. It was quite the investment, a worthwhile one. Since it is smaller than most baby strollers, I take it in wherever I go. I can check it at Coat Check if there's not enough room by my table (if I'm in a restaurant).

I LOVE that bike.  I'm wondering if it would support a person of my .... uh.... framework?

DR Matthew - Here is a list of Brompton Dealers in the Bay Area. *There's one in Town & Country.

There are some other manufacturers of "folders". If a Bromtpon doesn't seem like a good fit, check out Dahon, Giant, Shimano, Stowaway, etc.

Thank you!!!!  :)

Can anyone tell me where FB is hiding the "friends" invites?

DR Jane - Do you want to Invite someone? Or are you looking for an Invite someone extended you? -If so, just click on that People icon in the top left corner next to "facebook".


Thank you for responding.

I saw an "invite" on the right side of the page under birthdays.  I opened it without doing anything & then clicked on the back arrow.  When I returned I couldn't see the invite.  There was a time, prior to Timeline, when I received emails telling me I had invites. 

As for the people icon.....Even after you said it was there I couldn't see it at first.  They might have made it a contrasting color instead of a darker blue.

Thanks for solving the mystery.

Now if only I could see when all of these invites were received.

Off for a walk to the mail box.

I went and had bacon and eggs and picked up the important envelope, did some banking and am just here relaxing.  We're doing an upcoming release where I wanted to use the original liner notes for a previous CD release - but the author didn't have them on his computer anymore so I spent two hours of retyping them.  That was tedious but it's done.  And our next release will also have notes by someone else - and thankfully he had them on his computer and is just cutting them down be a couple of pages.

My last scanner had that option, but it really didn't work very well.  It's been several years since then, so maybe it would work better with my current scanner...I don't doubt that the technology has improved.

Topic of the Day, just arrived from Amazon:

Betty Buckley's Ah, Men! The Boys of Broadway and The Music of SMASH.

DR George, please let us know how the new Betty Buckley CD is.  Not sure I want to purchase it, but would with a glowing review from you!  I did hear a bit of a Hymn to Her on iTunes, but if wasn't quite enough to get me to buy the CD.  Although, it was good :)

If you like Betty...I do and I know that some people don't like Betty...but if you do, I certainly can recommend it.  I haven't finished listening to it, but I'm very much enjoying it.

If you like a voice that can peel paint off walls. And she's a horrible woman.

I am awaiting an email that has still not arrived....my personal trainer wants to get together with me this evening....I am starving to death and hoping my buddy Jim will consent to go out for Chinese food...and the Punjabi movie I wanted to watch doesn't have English subtitles.

That is my afternoon so far.

Can you work out after eating or do you go to the gym first?

Will you still watch the movie even if you don't know exactly what they are saying?

So, as Richard and I were finishing dinner we had a call from Rob.  He and Mary Linda want to come spend the holiday weekend with us.  Tomorrow we'll watch Miami/Ohio State at noon and Michigan/Alabama in the evening.  Rob has to work on Monday (holiday pay!), so I suspect Mary Linda and I will go to the outlet mall or something.

DR elmore - Was the AC guy at least cute? Or, at the very least, "DR MBarnum Cute"? ::)

It sounded like the guy didn't have much personality which, to me, would really ruin the cute factor.

Back from a long hot day of errands and whatnot.  The errands were annoying but had to be done.  The whatnot wasn't so bad.

It sounds very cool. And definitely seems to serve your purposes very well. Especially since you travel a lot.

Here there are a lot of places with bike racks. So i just lock my bike to it.

I thought that since a lot of people biked in NYC (especially around Central Park) that there might be various places with bike racks.

We have a very tall pine tree that was so thick you couldn't see anything beyond the tree.  As of today we can see the view through the tree.  I just wish I had taken the photos earlier in the day when the guy was much higher up.

I'm sorry I don't know how to rotate them.  I had the same problem on FB & hoped I would do better here.  I rotated them on my camera & they are still upright on my computer.
